Hi guys, I'm in Australia and I'm interested in family history. My last name is Hassett but the actual full name is Blenner Hassett. I know there was an actress in the US in the 60s called Marilyn Hassett and I know there was someone called Harmon Blenner Hassett (mentioned in the book Gangs of New York) who had a son who lived in the five points where the movie Gangs of New York was set and he died in the five points area. The Blenner hassett family came from Ireland in County Kerry - some were sent over to Australia as convicts and others obviously settled in America - predominantly New York it would seem. Can anyone direct me in the right direction as to where I can find info about my family ancestors who settled in America?
